Marcus Virgin, 24, disappeared after a trip from Pensacola, Florida, to Mobile, Alabama on May 8, 2003. He was with three acquaintances that day; they reportedly bought a codeine-laced drug cocktail in Mobile. Marcus called his uncle that evening saying he would be returning home but never arrived. Friends later told family they had dropped him off near the railroad tracks behind his grandmother’s house in Pensacola, but his family never saw him there.

At the time Marcus went missing he was wanted on multiple charges, including drug offenses and failure to pay child support, and law enforcement initially considered the possibility he had gone into hiding. Family and his girlfriend said that prolonged silence from Marcus would have been uncharacteristic. Authorities later recovered the vehicle Marcus had been in; a small blood sample in the trunk could not be tested at the time but was retested when DNA technology advanced. Foul play is strongly suspected in his disappearance.

Did anyone in the Pensacola or Mobile areas have contact with Marcus around May 8, 2003, or see the vehicle after that trip?
